#164 - Find the real dragon's tomb!
Old friend?
What old friend?
Where did this old friend come from?
Hearing this, both Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi's hearts skipped a beat.
However, they quickly calmed down.
This old friend could not possibly be someone from their previous life.
Then it could only be from this life.
This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞
If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
Moreover, it's easy to guess who it is referring to.
After asking the little demon who asked it to deliver the message, and hearing that it was a young man with long eyebrows and narrow eyes wearing red, who came from the Bishui Marquis's residence.
And also accompanying him was a black-clothed man with slanted eyes.
The two of them smiled.
"Is it Hong Lie and Hei Jiao?" Ling Yunzi said.
"Most likely it's them."
"Then who is this old friend?"
"Who else could it be but someone with malicious intentions?"
Yu Feilong and Jin Hong.
Although there were several opponents they fought in the duels, when added together.
The only ones they truly offended were these two.
The Huashe coiled around the handle of the horsetail whisk, winding its way up the handle towards the horsetail strands, held in place by a net, remaining motionless even when shaken.
Clearly, it was still asleep.
"I wonder when he will wake up from this sleep?"
"Let him be, let's head to the Northern Demon Realm first."
Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi didn't delay their journey because of this.
They conveniently bought some demon beast meat and headed towards a place in the royal city.
They soon arrived inside the royal city, near a building close to the North Gate.
It was the location of the teleportation array.
After paying the spirit stones, they entered the formation.
......
At this time, in the Bishui Marquis's residence.
Hong Lie was also talking to Hei Jiao.
"The one who plays with fire," Hei Jiao said, "Do you think they can guess who we're talking about?"
"With Bai Lingxiao and Bai Lingyun's intelligence, how could they not guess?" Hong Lie waved his hand, "Don't worry, this favor will definitely be sold."
"That's good."
In the future, when buying pills from the Bai family, they would have a reason to do so.
"But aren't they leaving too hastily?" Hei Jiao said again, "We were thinking of making a profit, but we couldn't do it."
"Seeking opportunities is, of course, better sooner rather than later," Hong Lie laughed, "If you go late, are you going to hastily step into a trap that others have carefully laid out?"
He was the one who first suggested making a profit.
As for how to make it?
It was quite simple.
The great demons who came to the Bishui Marquis's residence to respond to the recruitment were all seeking the support of stronger individuals, so that their future cultivation path would be smoother.
Either they had no support themselves—or rather, they had reached the great demon realm and felt that their backing was somewhat insufficient.
Or they were like him and Hei Jiao, with clans behind them, but not enough to support them in taking the next step.
Since they came to the Bishui Marquis's residence to apply and failed to achieve their goals, then they would definitely choose another good tree to perch on.
Hong Lie was able to quickly associate the pills from Xu Chengxian with their next destination, which was the Northern Demon Realm, because he was also paying attention to various news about finding a good tree to perch on.
It was just that the recruitment order from the Demon King in the Northern Demon Realm represented too much danger.
He and Hei Jiao had no intention of going so far to make a career.
But were there any demons who were confident in their own strength among those who came to the Marquis's residence this time?
If there were, did they lack pills?
At this time, wouldn't they be able to make a profit by raising the price of Bai Lingyun's Barrier-Breaking Pills and reselling them?
Although some great demons had left the Demon Marquis's residence, they had not left the royal city.
Moreover, within the Marquis's residence, there was still a Yu Feilong who hadn't left.
Although this guy was annoying, he was very generous when he spent money.
Therefore, Hong Lie tentatively approached him.
Sure enough, Yu Feilong intended to go to the Northern Demon Realm.
He also learned from him that Jin Hong, who had already left the royal city and returned to his clan, was also going.
Since they were going, they naturally wanted to return alive and gain something, so when they heard that Hong Lie had suitable pills in his hands, they were willing to buy them at a high price.
The business, wasn't it about to be done?
Unfortunately, as soon as it was settled, the Bai family was about to leave. There was definitely not enough time to refine more pills.
They wouldn't sell the ones that had already been refined either.
The business, even if it couldn't be done.
However, they had just received news that Jin Hong had already set off to the Northern Region, so they found a little demon to run errands and deliver the message.
"That Yu Feilong is fine, but Jin Hong wants to buy pills, and he specifically doesn't want us to reveal it to Bai Lingyun. There's only one buyer, and from the meaning he revealed, he probably doesn't have good intentions," Hei Jiao snorted and said.
He had some understanding of Jin Hong and wouldn't be mistaken.
Hong Lie nodded, also feeling that Jin Hong's reaction was a bit strange, and coupled with Hei Jiao's saying that the other party acted despicably, he reminded the Bai family of this.
However, he then said: "Strange, Brother Xu and the others left today, so why does Yu Feilong seem to have no movement?"
"Ha! I just overheard that it seems that the Bishui Demon Marquis doesn't allow him to go."
Although he said that, Yu Feilong still went in the end.
However, he was one step slower than the Bai family's three demons.
......
"Careful!"
Whoosh—
Just out of the teleportation array, the front was a piece of darkness.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew past Ling Xiao's face.
She slightly turned her body, dodging the attack, but felt a blur in front of her eyes.
Ling Yunzi's voice came from her ear.
"Quick!"
"Take out a Barrier-Breaking Pill!"
"Crush it!"
Hearing this, she didn't hesitate, immediately patted her storage bag, took out a Barrier-Breaking Pill as instructed, pinched it with two fingers, and crushed it.
Then, she spat out her magic power and refined the medicinal power.
In an instant, specks of spiritual light, together with the protective demon cloud rising from within her body, enveloped her.
At the same time, a whip scattered the flying bird that attacked again.
"Hmph, careless, almost fell for it!" Ling Xiao said after doing this.
It was not good to release the protective demon cloud in the teleportation array.
So as not to interfere with the operation of the magic array.
Instead, the magic array itself generated a layer of defensive light wall to protect them.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an attack the moment they came out.
This was her carelessness.
She should be vigilant at all times and in all places, especially knowing where she was teleporting to, and being so careless was very inappropriate.
"How do you feel?" Ling Yunzi also crushed a Barrier-Breaking Pill and followed suit.
"I'm fine, it should just be ordinary birds and beasts contaminated with mirage or miasma," Ling Xiao said.
Their minds were confused, so they would be so unscrupulous, disregarding the difference in strength, and attacking her.
"In this way, this teleportation array is extremely close to the Emperor's Tomb," Ling Yunzi took another pill and said, "It's better to take the antidote pill in advance, just in case."
"Alright." Ling Xiao had no objection to this.
Ling Yunzi looked at the horsetail whisk inserted behind his back.
The Huashe on the horsetail whisk still had no movement.
"This guy is sleeping soundly."
The two walked forward for several miles and arrived among a series of hills.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a large lake.
The seemingly boundless water surface rippled with emerald-colored waves, like a huge jade inlaid on the earth.
Only when you got closer would you discover the mud and rotting smell, which gave off a dim green light.
This was not a lake but a swamp.
Occasionally, one or several places on the surface of the swamp would emit strings of tiny bubbles, as if traces of some kind of residual power.
Bo~ Bo~ Bu~
The bubbles burst on the surface of the water, making subtle but palpitating sounds in the silence.
The miserable green aura radiated out in wisps.
Hitting the protective demon cloud of the two, it made a sizzling sound like mosquitoes being burned.
In the swamp, there were towering dead trees, standing like guardians, their trunks twisted and thick, and their bark covered with moss and vines.
Under the moss and vines, the bark cracked, like dragon scales.
"Among the surrounding hills, there should be one or several dragon tombs," Ling Xiao said.
"What we are looking for is the tomb of a true dragon, so we have to go further to find it," Ling Yunzi said.
The aura here was still too faint.
"Let's go!"
